RESOLUTION IMPLORING CITIZENS TO SHOW GREATER RESPECT FOR
LAW AND ORDER TO DETER INCREASING CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AND
URGING LEGISLATIVE RECONSIDERATION FOR JUST AND FAIR ADJU-
DICATION OF PERSONS CONVICTED OF ACTS CONTRARY TO SOCIETY
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of National
City is dismayed and disturbed by the overwhelming evidence
showing increase in crimes and criminal activity, and
WHEREAS, the City Council feels that citizen aware-
ness of the increasing crime problem can result in measures to
prevent and control these costly and detrimental activities, and
WHEREAS, the City Council is especially alarmed at
the erosion of moral fibre to the youth of America through the
use of dangerous drugs, especially narcotics and LSD, and
WHEREAS, the City Council feels that conscientious
efforts by law enforcement personnel are often handicapped
because of court rulings resulting from legislative enactments
that are ambiguous and discretionary;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council
of the City of National City:
1. That all citizens are implored to show a greater
respect for law and order with the pledge of utmost cooperation
extended to aiding law enforcement personnel in the discharge
of their duties.
2. That the Legislature declare in specific terms
and provisions the penalties to be assessed against persons
convicted of criminal activity.
3. That copies of this resolution be transmitted
to the Governor of the State of California, members of the State
Legislature from San Diego Count, all cities in San Diego County
with the hope that they will also adopt similar resolutions.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this list day of March, 1967.
